    Computer won't start !!!!

    My husband recently thought he needed to reload Windows ME because it was acting up. After doing so, now we have to try & start the computer at least 5-8 times, (sometimes more) to get it to start. It will just come up with the HP logo on the blue screen. It also freezes up alot more now. Is...

    How to get rid of a desktop theme??

    I'm back with yet another problem. I recently downloaded a desktop theme, but now how do I get rid of it? I changed the background, but the icons that went with the old one are still here. I began having trouble with a jerky mouse again and thought this might have something to do with it. Or...

    Desktop themes & wallpaper.....

    This question is going to show how really stupid I am about computers. I recently downloaded some cool desktops. My problem is, when I go to My Computer, then Display & Desktops, the ones I downloaded aren't listed there. Is there anyway I can put them there so I can change them out often? I...

    System utilities worth it ????

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question or not. I am looking for something to boost my internet speed. I have looked at the PC Booster & Modem Booster, also Windows Powertools. Has anyone had experience with either one of these (good, bad)? Or can someone suggest a program...

    Can I stop Explorer????

    In a recent post someone suggest hitting ctlr-alt-del to see what was running in the background slowing down my computer and giving me fits. I have Windows ME and when I do this it shows Explorer running. I don't use Explorer as my browser, so is there some way I can stop it from running...

    Back buttons & links won't work

    I recently had to use my Windows ME recovery disk. It straightened most of the stuff up, but now over 3/4 of the time when I hit my back button, it doesn't work or (honestly) takes about 3 to 4 minutes to finally go back. It does the same thing on links that I click on. I have a dial up...

    Host & Domain name?

    Since this is my first web page, I need suggestions on finding a host. Also I have heard that some sites won't let you keep your name if you ever move to another one. Once I have my name (or address) I don't want to lose it because it will be printed and painted on several business items. Can...

    Explorer won't leave me alone!

    I am having fits again with my computer. I use Compu Serve as my internet service, but have Explorer on my computer. The other night a message popped up asking if I wanted to update Explorer, so I did. Then it took over my computer, controlling everything. When I tried to uninstall the update it...

    Rain software?

    I'm having a problem with my computer, and someone suggested that it might be a cooling problem. I use to have a program installed on my old computer call "Rain" that seemed to kind of help cool it. Has anyone had any experience with this, and know where I can download it again? Is...

    Design Program?

    I am creating a web page in FP2000, but I need to create a logo. I have used Microsoft Publisher before and it worked good, but is there something else out there that is better? I don't want to do animation or anything, just fancy word text and some simple graphics without paying a arm and leg...

    Blue screen of death!

    I use my computer about 10-12 hours a day. Lately at least once a day I get the blue screen saying error and so on.

    Jerky mouse??

    Recently when using my mouse, it has started having a very slow jerky motion. Usually it starts after I have been using the computer for awhile, but not always. It doesn't matter if I'm on-line or not, but it does seem worse when I'm connected. My keyboard also does this. I will type, but have a...

    looking for web graphics

    I am working on a web page for a custom home builder, but I can't seem to find any clipart or graphics of blueprints of houses. I have seen them used in other web pages and they look great. All the houses I find aren't quite classy enough. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Inserting pics into Frontpage

    I inserted a pic taken from a digital camara into my webpage that was created using Frontpage. I made it into a thumbnail, but when clicked on it blows it up huge. When you look at the pic in the original file, it's size is OK. I have tried everything, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
